BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the display field, and more particularly to a display module and a display device.

2. Description of Related Art

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has high display quality, small size, light weight and wide application ranges, etc. The LCD is widely applied in mobile phones, laptop computers, televisions and other electronic products. The liquid crystal display panel is the most important element of the LCD, which typically comprises an array substrate, a color filter (CF) substrate, and a liquid crystal layer which is interposed between the two substrates. Through controlling the voltage between the CF substrate and the array substrate, it drives liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer to be deflected in different display screens.

Wherein, the array substrate is provided with a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix, thin-film transistors (TFTs), and a first common electrode. The CF substrate is provided with a second common electrode. In the LCD cell process, it usually utilizes a shorting bar to perform a lighting test so as to test the yield of the LCD panel.

With reference to FIG. 1, in a non-display region 114 of the array substrate 111, it is typically provided with seven shorting bars 111, and two of them are respectively and electrically connect to odd-numbered data lines 1112 and even data line 1113 on the array substrate 111. Three of them are respectively and electrically connected to a red pixel, a green pixel and a blue pixel scan lines 1114 of the array substrate 111. The remaining one of them is electrically connected to a first common electrode 1115 of the array substrate 111, and the other remaining one is electrically connected to the second common electrode 1121 through the CF substrate 112. Two ends of the shorting bar 1111 are provided with test pads 1117. Under the lighting test, inputting test signals to the data lines, scan lines, or the common electrode which are electrically connected to the corresponding shorting bar 1111 through the test pads 1117 to test a screen of the LCD panel 110. When the testing is completed, utilizing the grinding or the laser cutting to disconnect the connection between the shorting bar 1111 and the scan lines, data lines or the common electrodes.

In the LCD panel 110, a first test pad 1118 which is electrically connected to the first common electrode 1115 of the array substrate 1111 and a second test pad 1119 which is electrically connected to a second common electrode 1121 of the CF substrate 112. The two test pads are farther apart from the other test pads 1117. When utilizing the laser cutting, the cutting region AA′ of the laser cutting is limited. It often occurs that the first test pad 1118 and the second test pad 1119 are not in the cutting region AA′. Therefore, even after performing the laser cutting, the first test pad 1118 is still electrically connected to the first common electrode 1115 and/or the second test pad 1119 is still electrically connected to the second common electrode 1121.

Please continue to refer to FIG. 2, in the conventional LCD, the front frame 120 is generally a non-metal material, but in order to prevent a current flowing through the LCD panel 110 in the Electro-Static discharge (ESD) testing, it often attaches an electrically conductive film 121 at the inner side of the front frame 120. The electrically conductive film 121 contacts with the backplane 130 which is grounded to ensure that the front frame 120 is also grounded (GND). If the front frame 120 is excessively pressed in the assembly process of the LCD panel 110 and the front frame 120, it may cause a deformation of the front frame 120 such that the electrically conductive film 121 of the front frame 120 may contact the test pads 1117 of the LCD panel 110 (as shown in FIG. 3). Or, it may cause electrically conductive film 121 of the front frame 120 to tilt up such that it contacts with the test pad contacts 1117 of the LCD panel 110 (as shown in FIG. 4).

In the above situation, if the first test pad 1118 which is still connected with the first common electrode 1115 and/or the second test pad 1119 which is still connected with the second common electrode 1121 connect to the electrically conductive film 121 of the front frame 120, the potential of the first common electrode 1115 and/or the second common electrode 1121 is GND. Therefore, it disturbs the reference base of digital signal of the driver IC so as to cause a malfunction, that is, it generates the LCD screen noise or flicker.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following content combines with the drawings and the embodiment for describing the present invention in detail.

With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of a display panel of a display module according to an embodiment of the present invention and FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display module according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, the display module includes a display panel 510, a front frame 520 and a backlight module 530. The display panel 510 includes a display region 513 and a non-display region 514, which are both located at a side of a light emitting surface. The non-display region 514 is disposed at a peripheral area of the display panel 510. The front frame 520 is disposed on the non-display region 514 of the display panel 510. The backlight module 530 is disposed at a side of a light entering surface of the display panel 510.

The display panel 510 includes a first substrate 511 and a second substrate 512 opposite to the first substrate 511. Corresponding to the display region 513, the first substrate 511 is at least provided with a first common electrode 5111 and a first wiring 5112 electrically connected to the first common electrode 5111; and the second substrate 512 is at least provided with a second common electrode 5121 and a second wiring 5122 electrically connected to the second common electrode 5121. (In FIG. 5, for convenience only, the first and the second common electrodes are schematically shown; however, in practice, the disposition of the first and second common electrodes in the display region may be different from that shown in FIG. 5, this being equally applicable to the aforementioned FIG. 1.)

The common electrodes may provide reference potentials for the corresponding substrates. Corresponding to the non-display region 514, the first substrate 511 is provided with a shorting bar 5113 for testing the display region 513 and a test pad 5114 disposed at one end of the shorting bar 5113. In testing, the shorting bar 5113 is electrically connected to a wiring of the display region 513 of the display panel 510. The test pad 5114 is disposed for facilitating the shorting bar 5113 to input a test signal in the testing. In the present embodiment, the test pad 5114 is a metal pad. It can be understood that the test pad is not limited to being disposed at ends of the shorting bar and the test pad can be disposed at any position of the shorting bar, and the present invention is not limited to this.

In the present embodiment, the shorting bar 5113 includes at least shorting bars that are respectively and electrically connected to the first wiring 5112 and the second wiring 5122. Correspondingly, the test pad 5114 includes at least test pads that are respectively and electrically connected to the first wiring 5112 and the second wiring 5122. For convenience of description, one of the test pads 5114 that is electrically connected to the first wiring 5112 is defined as a first test pad 5115, and one of the test pads 5114 that is electrically connected to the second wiring 5114 is defined as a second test pad 5116.

The front frame 520 includes a front plate 521 disposed opposite to at least a portion of the non-display region 514 and a side plate 522. The backlight module 530 includes a backplane 531, which contacts with a portion of the side plate 522 of the front frame 520, wherein the backplane 531 may be grounded. The front plate 521 and side plate 522 further include a first insulation layer 5211 and an electrically conductive film 5212 that serves as an electric conduction portion stacked on each other. The electrically conductive film 5212 is disposed one sides of the front plate 521 and side plate 522 that are adjacent to the non-display region 514 of the display panel 510, and a portion of the electrically conductive film 5212 is electrically connected to the backplane 531 so as to conduct a current of the front frame 520 to the backplane 531 that is grounded. In the present embodiment, the first insulation layer 5211 is made of a plastic material. Of course, the first insulation layer is not limited to plastics. In another embodiment, the first insulation layer may be made of other insulation materials, such as insulation paints or rubbers.

In the display module, a portion of the electrically conductive film 5212 of the front plate 521 is disposed opposite to the test pads 5114 of the display panel 510. The front plate 521 further includes an insulation portion 5213 for insulating the electrically conductive film 5212 from the test pads 5114 on the display panel 510. In the present embodiment, an area of the electrically conductive film 5212 right opposite to the test pads 5114 is hollowed out such that when the front plate 521 contacts with the non-display region 514 of the display panel 510 under an external force, the electrically conductive film 5212 cannot contact with the test pads 5114 to form the insulation portion 5213 for insulating the electrically conductive film 5212 from the test pads 5114 on the display panel 510.

For example, an area of the hollow-out portion is larger than the test pads 5114. Of course, in another embodiment, the electrically conductive film can be hollowed out at an area right opposite to the test pads. The hollow-out portion can make a portion of the electrically conductive film right opposite to the test pads and a portion of the electrically conductive film not right opposite to the test pads insulating from each other to form the insulation portion 5213 for insulating a portion of the electrically conductive film 5212 connected to the backplane from the test pads 5114 on the display panel 510.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the test pads mentioned are only the first test pad and the second test pad, but the display module of the present invention may further include a shorting bar electrically connected to a scan line for testing the scan line and/or a shorting bar electrically connected to a data line for testing the data line, and test pads disposed in the shorting bars. The insulation portion of the front frame may only make insulation between the electrically conductive film and the first and second test pads or make insulation between the electrically conductive film and the first test pad, the second test pad, and the above-mentioned test pads on the display panel.

Furthermore, in the display panel of the present embodiment, the first and second test pads are disposed at a region farther away from the other test pads so that the first and second test pads may still connect to the first and second common electrodes after testing the display panel. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the insulation portion is at least configured to insulate the electrically conductive film from the first and second test pads.

But in other embodiments for other types of display module, the above condition is not used for the first and second test pads for testing the first and second common electrodes. Corresponding to that display module, the insulation portion is for insulating the electrically conductive film from the other test pads connected to the wirings of the display region of that display module. Furthermore, the display module of the present invention may not include the shorting bars, and the test pads are other test pads which are not disposed at the shorting bars. Therefore, it does not limit the test pads here. The test pads of the present invention are arbitrary test pads which are disposed in the non-display region and electrically connected to the wiring of the display region.

Furthermore, the display module of the present invention is not limited to a structure that involves a backlight module and conducts away an electrical current of the front frame through a backplane of the backlight module. In another embodiment, the present invention may not be provided with a backlight module. The display module may be provided with other ground configurations. The front frame and one of the other structures electrically connected to the ground can conduct the current away. Or, the display module is provided with a backlight module and other ground structures, and the front frame is electrically connected to the other structures which are grounded to conduct away the current. Therefore, the backlight module of the display module and the way through an electrically current is conducted away from the front frame, as described above, are not intended to limit the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the first and second test pads of the display module may be easily kept in electrical connection with the wirings of the display region after the testing. By hollowing out a portion of the electrically conductive film of the front plate that is right opposite to the first and second test pads, insulation is provided between the electrically conductive film and the first and second test pads. Therefore, it avoids that when the electric conduction portion of the front frame contacts with the test pads, the wirings in the display region are grounded. As a result, it avoids that screen noise and flicker of the LCD because of the test pads in the non-display region of the display panel contacting with the front frame.

With reference to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a display module according to another embodiment of the present invention. The display module of this embodiment is basically the same as the display module of the foregoing embodiment. A difference is that an electrically conductive film 7212 of a front frame 720 does not involve a hollow-out structure. The electrically conductive film 7212 is disposed at a side of the front frame 720 that is adjacent to the non-display region 714 of the display panel 710. An outer surface of an area of the electrically conductive film 7212 that is right opposite to test pads 7114 of the display panel 710 is disposed with a second insulation layer 7213 such that when a front plate 721 of the front frame 720 contacts with the non-display region 710 of the display panel 714 under an external force, the electrically conductive film 7212 does not contact with the test pads 7114 so that an insulation portion can be formed between the electrically conductive film 7212 and the test pads 7114 of the display panel 710. In the present embodiment, the second insulation layer 7213 is an insulating tape. Of course, the second insulation layer is not limited to the insulating tape. In another embodiment, the second insulation layer may also be formed of other insulating materials, such as insulation paints or rubbers.

With reference to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a display module according to another embodiment of the present invention. The display module of this embodiment is basically the same as the display module of the foregoing embodiment. A difference is that a front frame 820 is not provided with the first insulation layer and the electrically conductive film, and instead, a front plate 821 and a side plate 822 of the front frame 820 are both electrically conductive plates so that the entire front frame 820 is an electric conducting part. The side plate 822 of the front frame 820 contacts with a backplane 831 of the backlight module 830 so as to achieve an electric connection for conducting away a current at the front frame 820. An outer surface of the front plate 821 of the front frame 820 in an area right opposite to the test pads 8114 of the non-display region 814 of the display panel 810 is provided with a second insulation layer 8213 such that when the front plate 821 contacts with the non-display region 814 of the display panel 810 under an external force, the front plate 821 cannot contact with the test pads 8114 of the non-display region 814 so that an insulation portion can be formed between the front plate 821 and the test pads 8114 on the display panel 810.

It should be noted that in the foregoing embodiments, the display modules are all LCD modules, but it does not limit the present invention to be the LCD modules. The display module of the present invention may be other modules that provide with test pads which electrically connect to wirings of the display region in the non-display region, and a front frame provides with a conductive structure such as an Organic Electroluminescence Display (OELD) module or a plasma module, etc.

With reference to FIG. 9, it is a schematic plan view showing a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the display device includes a display module 910 and an outer housing 920 disposed around the display module 910. The display module 910 is one of the display modules shown in the foregoing embodiments and a detailed description can refer to FIGS. 5 to 8 and the description of the foregoing embodiments. Repeated description will be omitted here.

Comparing to the prior art, the present invention comprises an insulation portion provided on the front plate such that the insulation portion insulates the electric conduction portion from the test pads that might be electrically connected to the wirings of the display region of the display panel. Therefore, it can prevent that when the test pads of the display panel contact with the front plate, the test pads of the display panel electrically connect to the electric conduction portion of the front plate. Thus, it avoids the wirings of the display region of the display panel being undesirably grounded, that is, avoiding LCD screen noise or flicker because the test pads of the non-display region of the display panel contact with the front frame.

The above embodiments of the present invention are not used to limit the claims of this invention.
